The Money Market is assuming a very inactive appearance, and of course day after day less business is being transacted. This quietude arises from the Let that the commercial ()lasses are expecting a reduction in the official rate, and they are there fore disinclined to send more bills into circulation than they can possibly avoid till after the hopeful event. The market is well supplied with capital, and discounters are anxious to enter into transac tions at current rates. The general quotatibn for three months' securities is 8,1 per cent. st st A further s um o f £ 36 , 00 0 i n go l d was taken into st the Bank on Saturday. T he Magdalena has arrived from the Brazils with £ 43 .765, the Europa from Boston with £4,090, the Recta from New York with £20,000, and the Erin also from New York with £35,900. 8, There is also ver y littl e a l terat i on t o report in 8, the condition of the textile and other trade markets g daring the past week. The continued high price of 12, motley has checked speculation ; and at Bradford, Iluddersfield, Leicester, and Leeds the business ; transacted in woollen and cloth goods has been a rather small. At Manchester there has been slight 2 8 1 , fluctuations in the price of cotton yarn, and several st c)011 o perations have t a k e n pl a ce.

In prices, scarcely any change took place. Spring corn of tall descriptions steadily supported previous rates, although tho demand was by no means active. Good and fine barley and oats, however, changed :hands somewhat freely. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. The ,export trade in breadstuffs at New York continues very inactive, the demand both for wheat and flour being much restricted. The trade on thQ Continent for wheat and spring corn is slow. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 33,782 quarters of wheat, 100 barley, 61,908 oats, 1,353 beans, 4,733 linseed, 3,011 oilseeds, 115 sacks and 19 bar rels of flour. The supply of Kent and Essex what on sale at Mark lane tc-day at the commencement of business was small. The demand both for red and white qualities ruled somewhat active, and the stands were readily cleared, but factors fililed in realising any advance in prices from Monday last, The quotations, therefore, remain unaltered. The supplies of home-grown produce subsequently brought forward were, for the most part, disposed of at the full prices of Monday last. &merelly speaking, the samples were received in good condition. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was toler ably large. American descriptions were in steady request, and a fair average business was transacted in most quali- ties, at fully lato rates. Good and prime Russian Wheats sold steadily at full prices; and as regards other descrip tions of foreign wheat the trade was firm, at quite previous Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and prices ruled firm. The market was well supplied with English barley; but the bulk was of middling quality, and the barley trade, speaking generally, was slow. Fine parcels, however, were firm in price, and in the value of middling and inferior reduce no change took place. Malt was a dull inquiry, and prices had a drooping ten dency. There was a good supply both of English and foreign oats on the stands. For most descriptions there was a steady demand, and last week's quotatiOns were ateakypupported.

Sales progressed slow ly, at about previous rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were only moderato, both as to number and quality. Prime Scots, crosses, shorthorns, Herefords and Demme were in fair request, at full prices—the top figure being 5s 6d per 81bs. Otherwise the beef trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Some very good beasts changed hands at 58 4d per 8113 s. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,600 shorthorns, crosses, so.; from other parts of ,England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 166 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 550 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was rather on the increase, and the condition of most breeds was inferior. Downs, half-brads, Leicesters, and Lincolns moved off steadily, at Monday's advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. All other breeds of sheep were dull, at about previous currencies. The highest figure was 5s 10d per Blbs. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, were in fair request, at full prices—viz., from 4s to 5s per 8 bs. Some small pigs were quits as dear as last week, but large hogs were very dull.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET. CURIOUS CHARGE OF FURIOUS DRIVING AND brifai,,lftergLita Yea/TV of_o_ L7Pnan m.ol3 , ..ischd and furious driving, and damaging another cab. Castle, a constable of the F division, deposed that on Saturday night, a little before 12, while at the corner of Grafton•street, he saw the defendant, who was drunk, driving a II insom cab, and directly afterwards he saw the defendant drive into a four wheel cab containing a lady, which was coming in an opposite direction. The conse quence of the collision was that the four-wheel cab was much damaged, the Hansom cab turned over, and the de fendant thrown on to the pavement into a lot of mud. In answer to Mr Tyr whitt, the constable said the defen. dant was going at the rate of 12 miles an hour at the time, his horse galloping. Seeing that he was drunk he took him into custody. The defendant said he was not driving the cab at the Ine. It was a relative of his who was driving. Castle said that was not true. John Gray, the driver of the four-wheel cab, said that while at the corner of Grafton -street his oab was driven int, by a Hansom cab, but he could not say the defendant was the driver. The Hansom cab was thrown over, and the driver pitched off. Hie cab was a good deal damaged. Mr Locke, of the Gray's Inn-road, the owner of the four.wheel cab, said damage was done to the amount of £2 10s. Defendant again said he was not driving; the cab, and that the person was in attendance who drove it. rm White, Little St. Andrew•street, deposed that while in law (the d e fendant) wa s a printer, his o t brother 2 7 in a publichouse he jumped on the Hansoth oab, of which his brother in law was the driver, and went for a drive. He had the misfortune to drive into a four wheel cab through a greengrocer's stall being in the road. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired how it was that the police got hold of the defendant. White said that as soon as ho met with the aocident he ran away to tell the defendant, who on eomirg up was taken into custody. A. person living at 34, Great Andrew -street, said he went into a publiohouse with the defendant to have a drop " on the gale," and shortly after White came back, having taken the cab away, and said he had met with an acci dent. The defendant was in the publichouse at the time. Mr Tyrwhitt said he should discharge the defendant, and the owner of the four.wheel cab could sue the person who was driving the Hansom cab for the damage, THAMES. `WORN-OUT, ➢UT NOT DRUNl.—Joshua 'Wright, a portly man of Kent, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Skipper, a police-constable No. 25 11, saw the prisoner walking over Tower-hill on Saturday night at 9 o'clock, but he kept a :very uneven keel, and was brought up all standing against the railings which surround the glade. The prisoner held on for a short time, and then released himself and set sail again. He soon came into collision with some trees on the hill, fell against one of them and foundered. The policeman afterwards went to him and finding he was in distress raised him, and endeavoured to get him under weigh again, but he failed, and after trying to right him for a quarter of an hour, finding he couldn't make any sail at all, he conveyed him to the sta tion-house. Mr Paget—The prisoner hal a . good deal of property about him ? Skipper—Yes, sir, a bag, withvaluable property, a watch, money, and other property. The place where he fell is very dangerous—there are many land-sharke. loose women, and other thieves about Tower-hill. .._ ....... The prisoner, in defence, said he was much obliged to the police for taking care of him tied his property. Ho was not drunk but worn out. Mr Paget—How worn out I' _ _ _ The prisoner —I brought a ship up from the Downs, We had bad weather. I was with her for a week, and had no rest. I was regularly worn out. Mr Paget—l should be sorry to entrust you with a ship if you get drunk. The prisoner —I was not drunk on board ship. Mr Paget—Whore do you come from ? The prisonor—Prom Deal. Mr Paget—l am afraid you had some grog on Saturday, and could not pilot yourself correctly. The prisoner—Well, I had a glass of grog, bat I was worn out. Mr Paget—You must pay a fine of 6s for being drunk and incapable. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, Nov. 7.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

It was founded on the affidavit of Mr Philip Lovett, who deposed that the defendant had sailed on board his yacht as a guest during a trip to the Mediterranean in Aeptember, 1860 ; that a dispute arose between them about the residence of Garibaldi, which led Mr Madder to leave the yacht. It was also alleged that ho made some statement about an unmarried lady, which was offensive to Mr Lovett. There was conse quently some hostile correspondence between the parties in 1861: But the matter did not go further till the 13th of July, when Mr Lovett arrived on board his yacht in Queenstown harbour for the purpose of being present at the regatta, and was invited by the secretary of the club to meet members at the club-house. Accord ingly he went next day, accompanied by a gentleman named hoare. Mr. Madder, who was at a window, said, "Hoare, yo u are bringing a gentleman to the club who is not admitted here." He afterwards called out in a loud tone, "Oh, you wretch 1" On these words being used Mr Ilearo requested Mr Lovett to take no notice, and, with Captain Deane Perry, begged him to walk into the reading-room of the club, which he did. On the way Mr Hoare requested Captain Perry to accompany him out to speak to Mr Madder, aud he agreed to do so. Subse quently Mr Lovett was informed that Mr Madder said to those gentlemen that deponent was "a coward, a liar, and a blackguard." and the affidavit set forth that Mr Edmund Burke, a deputy lieutenant of the county of Cork, told him that Mr Madder used similar expressions to him in refer ence to deponent in the presence of several gentlemen in the city of Cork, who were assembled in the Commercial Newsroom. The Chief Justice said ho did not think there was any case going ' to the extent that a criminal informa matioa could bo granted for the words " You wretch." The other words deposed to here were not addressed to the prosecutor personally. After some discussion on this point the Court refused the motion, Naval and Military Intelligence. On Wednesday Gen. Todleben visited the camp at Alder shot, and was present at an inspection and review of the whole of the troops at that station. The General, accompa nied by Lieut.-Gen. the Earl of Cardigan, Capt. the Hon. G. Wrottesley (Royal Engineers), and attended by his suite arrived at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway shortly after 11 o'clock, and was received by Lieut, Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., and his staff. The whole party then took horse and proceeded to the Long Val ley, where the troops had been previously ordered to assem ble, and arrived upon the review-ground about 12 o'clock. The Russian general being in plain clothes was received by the troops with shouldered arms. The division was formed in three lines, facing eastwards. Major Gen. Taylor's and Major Gm. Russell's brigade, with two batteries of Royal Artillery and two companies of Royal Engineers, formed the advanced line; Major Gan. Bates's brigade, with the Royal Engineer train on his right, and two battalions of Military 'Frain formed the second line ; and the Cavalry Brigade and D battery Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Major Gen. Hodge, C.B, formed the third line. In this imposing order the troops were inspected by Sir J. Pennefather, Gen. Todleben, and the Earl of Cardigan, who rode down the front of each line, not without recognition on the part of the Russian general of some officers whom he had met upon a sterner field of operations. The inspection ever, the generals, staff, and suite rode over to the saluting point, where the bands of the Royal Horse Artillery and Cavalry Brigade were stationed. The division then marched past, the Artillery, Cavalry, Royal Engineer Train, and Mi litary Train in open columns of batteries and squadrons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divis ons in quick time. The Royal Engineer Train, Royal Engineers and the t wo battalions Military Train filed off to quarters after marching past. The D battery Royal Horse Artillery,and the Cavalry Brigade repassed in open column of squadrons et a gallop, swept round to the right, and formed up in rear of Long-hill. The division was now rapidly manssavred, and was formed in order of battle at the base of Long. hill, facing eastward. Gan. Taylor advanced his regiments in quarter distance column at deploying distance, covered by skir mishers. Oa the recall of the skirmishers the regiments deployed, and the brigade advanced in line. Arrived on the high ground on the east side of the valley, Gen. Taylor halted and opened a splendid file fire, while the E Battery, 9th Brigade, coming up on the right, opened a smart can tours, and teen. itusseii, wile) naa Peen in support, execut ing a similar manaaavre, passed through Gen. Taylor's brigade, advanced about 100 yards to the front, halted, and opened fire. After a time the brigade ceased firing, changed position to the left, and formed line facing the Basingstoke canal. Gen. Taylor also changed position, and formed line in rear of Gen. Russell, and Gen. Bates in quarter-distance column at wheeling distance in rear of Gen. Taylor. Gen. Hodge formed line with the Royals and Greys upon the left of Gen. Russell's brigade, and the 14th Husars formed the second line in their rear. The new formation being com plete, Gen. Pennefather eagaged the enemy to the north ward, and Gen, Russell opened fire together with the Royal Artillery on either fit ink of his brigade. " Cease firing" was again sounded, and Gen. Taylor's brigade advanced and came into action. The Ist Royals, Scots Greys, and 14th Hussars retired by open column of troops from the right, wheeled to the left, and formed two lines in rear of the in fantry, as before. The whole of the infantry was now thrown into echelon of squares, and the Royals and Greys advanced by sections of threes at a gallop, and when clear of the squares reformed line and executed a brilliant charge ; they then retired from both flanks, and reformed in two lines in rear of the infantry. The 14th Hussars executed a similar charge, retired in like manner to the former regi ments, and formed in rear of the Greys. Tho brigade, now in three lines in successive order, advanced at a gallop and charged by alternate regiments, then retired to the original ground, and the movements of the day were brought to a close. The troops were then ordered to their quarters in barracks and camp, Gen, Todleben rode off the field ac companied by Sir John Pennefather and the Earl of Car digan, and, having partaken of luncheon at the quarters of the Lieut. General Commanding, left the camp shortly afterwards. The weather was dry and favourable for the manesavres, which were witnessed by a considerable num ber of spootatore. General Todleben returned to London from Portsmouth on Saturday last. During the time General Todleben re mained in Portsmouth he was the guest of Major General Lord W. Paulet, C,B. Accompanied by that officer, ho visited the various objects of interest in and around Ports mouth, the lines of fortifications connected and detached, the dockyard, her Majesty's turret ship Royal Sovereign, the gunnery ship Excellent, asc. A board of officers, consisting of one field officer, 2d Brigade, president; Surg, Barry (Military Train), the prin cipal purveyor, and Capt. Akers (Royal Engineers), as sembled at the Royal Engineer-office, South Camp, Alder shott, at 11 o'clock on Friday morning, to report upon the additional accommodation required at the hospital for women at that station. On Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the field batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery at Aldershott wero formed up in order to witness the presentation of medals for long service and good conduct to Battery-Sergeant• Major John Brown, 9th Brigade, Gunner Walters, of the Royal Horse Artil lery, and Gunner Lamb, of the Coast Brigade. The presen tation took place with the usual ceremonies. The Ist company of the Royal Engineers, which left Portsmouth under the temporary command of Lieut Harris, arrived at Aldershott Camp on Tuesday. The marching in strength of the company was as fellows-1 officer, 6 ser geants, 2 buglers, 6S rank and file, 20 women, and 22 children. Capt. Lampriere assumed the command of the company upon its arrival at the camp. On Thursday the D Battery, B B -igade, Royal Horse Artillery, Col D'Aguilar, C. 8., and the E and F Batteries, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, Col. Elgee, the whole under the command of Sir D. Wood, were inspected at Aldershott by Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefather, K.C.B. The batteries were put through various field evolutions by Col. Wood, to the entire satisfaction of Gen. Pennefather, after which they limbered up and returned to barracks in columns of subdivisions. The men's quarters, stables, schools, rations, etc., were subsequently inspected, and so satisfac factory was every department that the Lieut.• General con gratulated Sir David Wood, RA., and Lieut.-Col. D' Aguilar, R.H.A., on the effectiveness in every way of the force under their respective commands. The drill season having closed at the camp at Colchester, orders have been issued directing the depot battalions to march into the country once a week; the cavalry will also make a weekly march into the country. The whole of the annual inspections having been completed, the Field Marshal Commanding-in Chief has in a circular memorandum san tioned the issue of leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to noncommissioned officers and privates. The number going on leave of absence at one time ie not to exceed one half of th. officers and ten per company per month of the noncommissioned officers and privates. The whole of the officers and noncommissioned officers and privates must bo present at headquarters March 14, 1865, when the leave season expires. We are requested to state that the information contained in some of the morning papers, to the effect that an explo sion of rockets had taken place a few days ago in Wool wich Arsenal, is utterly without foundation. A detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry, in com mand of First Lieut, S. T. Collins and Second Lieut. W. P. Wright, consisting of 134 noncommissioned officers and privates, left Woolwich on Saturday morning, at 9, by train for Portsmouth; and were to embark for service on board H.M.S. Victoria on their arrival at noon. The paddlewheel sloop Spiteful, 1,051 tons and 230 horse power, was on. Saturday towed up to Doptfnrd Tlnrltyard, from Woolwich, to undergo thorough overhaul and repair. Her delay at Woolwich beyond the time appointed was oo casioned by a leakage in the after part of the ship, discovered on her removal from dock, and which had to be made good in order to her safety. The cost of repair has been esti mated to exceed £3,000. This will render her equal to new. The Warrior, 40, screw iron frigate, Capt. Hon. A. A Uochrane, C. 8., dismantling at Portsmouth, is to be paid out of commission on the 22d inst. She is ordered to be thoroughly dismantled, everything being returned to store and her machinery taken to pieces. On paying off she will ba placed in the second class of the Steam Reserve at the port. The Warrior is in splendid order in all her internal arrange ments and her crew have arrived at that state of discipline that can only be attained by unremitting exertions at the close of an ordinary commission. She has already exceeded this term, and therefore, notwithstanding the just pride we feel in still calling h=r the finest and fastest of her Ma jesty's iron clad fleet, there may be good reasons for the Admiralty patting her out of commission. Three reasons are spoken of as having influenced the Admiralty in paying her out of commission. First, want of men for the three decker victoria; secondly, the defective condition of the ship's boilers; and thirdly, the intended alteration and continuation of the armour plating around the bow and stern. There is certainly a great want of seamen for the Victoria. The boilers of the ship have done an immense amount of work, and commensurate results have followed in the reduction of steam pressure from 221 b to 181 b, which must deduct materially from the 'Warrior's speed at full boiler power. The alteration to the ship's bow and stern would, if carried into effect, necessitate the opening and lengthening the ship's frame forward and aft, otherwise she would be unable to carry the additional armour plating, and would be ruined in her present excellent sea-going qualities and rate of speed under steam. The inspection of the Warrior at Spithead a few days since by Admiral iir M. Seymour, G.C.8., the Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, drew forth the highest encomiums on the discipline of her crew from that veteran officer. In gunnery especially the crew of the Warrior appear to shine pre-eminently, as her crew of 314 seamen is divided into 106 seamen gunners and acting seamen gunners and 208 trained men, and this force has reached its present efficient state solely by the excellent regulations and untiring exertions of the officers from the first hour sho was put into commission. In the inspection of the crew at quarters by Sir M. Seymour the heavy 59- cwt 68-pounder guns were dismounted on both sides of the main deck, and shifted over on opposite sides of the deck. One round was fired from the first four guns in the follow ing times : Ist gun, 3m 15s-2d gun, 3m 165-3 d gun, 4m-4th gun, 4m is (the last two guns had to be shifted over the chain cables), CS-pounder was transported from the bow port to the stern port, and 4one round fired from it in 3m ss. In another part of the exercise all the ship's guns were laid aft at extreme training for an enemy coming up on the quarter, when the order was giv en, " Prepare for an enemy coming down on the bow," and the guns were re versed and relaid for the enemy's new mancouvre in 40s. Two rounds wore next fired, double-shotted, at the enemy passing on the opposite tack in lm 255, and finally the pivot 110-pounder gun on the forecastle was transported to the stern port and one round fired in lm 30s. A great deal has necessarily been learnt during thel,Varrior's commission which has an important bearing upon ships of similarly great length at sea when under sail. One experience thus gained is very decisive and important. The shortest time in which the evolution of tacking was ever accompanied by the obser vance of the ordinary rules was 6 min. 40 sec. By swinging the crossjack yard at the eame time that. the helm was put down, the evolution W 3.3 accomplis!led in 5 ruin, 20 ccc., and from the day this was fitst established as a rule that on all future occasions of tacking the ship the crossjwk-yard should be swung at the time the helm w.ts put down. It i, anticil aped that a large number of the Warrior's crew will jo:n the Excellent gannery ship at PJrtsmou'll. The Aurora, 3, screw frigate, Cap. Sir Leopold took, is in dock at Portsmouth underg . )ing• repairs and other wise refitting, it is reported, for the North American and West India station. Mr Moore, carpenter of the first-class in her Majesty's Navy, and registrar of tides at Portsmouth Dockyard, has been awarded a gratuity of £3O by the Admiralty, "as a special mark of their lordships' appreciation of his services." Mr Moore, among his many other services thus alluded to, is the inventor of the new form of water tanks, and their present arrangement of stowage, which is now universally adopted in the fitting out of her Majesty's ships.

A special general meeting of the members of this society was held on Saturday afternoon at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of considering the re vised rules and regulations, and of electing committee-men and other officers for the current year, and for other busi • ness ; Mr Godwin, ono of the vice-presidents in the chair. The committee, which had conducted the affairs of the society at once placed their resignation bodily in the hands of the meeting. The business commenced with the hon, secretary, Mr Henry George Warren, reading the rules and regulations seriatim, and a lengthened discussion arose upon some, which were amended. The names of the gentlemen who had formed the committee up to this meeting were read, and they were severally re-elected. By an alteration which was carried in one of the rules, having reference to the management, the number of the committee was in creased from twelve to eighteen. The meeting then proceeded to elect the new members, and to fill up the vacancy caused by the retirement of one of the former committee. The names of the several gentle. men who had consented to act, if elected, wore put seriatim, and they were duly declared elected, namely—Mr Leicester Buckingham, Mr T. D. Chipchaso, Mr H. Corbett, Mr Callaghan, Mr Findon, Mr E. Lloyd, and Mr Edward M'Dermott. Mr D. M. Evans, C. Downing, and Charles Saunders, were elected auditors. A notice of moticn by Mr Frederick Ledger was on the paper of business—" That some recognition of the services which the hon. secretary has rendered to the institution be made to that gentleman." It was, however, suggested that the funds in hand ought not to be applied to any pur pose other than those for which they had been subscribed, and that while the feeling was unanimous with respect to the value of the services rendered by their es'eemen lecretary, it would be the better course for the members themselves to subscribe to a separate testimonial fund rather than that by a vote such as that proposed they shauld appear to divert any portion of the funds from the objects contemplated at the formation of the society. Alist was at once commenced, Mr Godwin heading it with hie name for two guineas ; Mr Chas. Gruneisen kindly followed the chairman's example, and other members present sub scribed liberal eums. A committee of five was ultimately ap pointed to collect and receive the subscriptions of the mem bers to the Warren TestLoonial Fund, The proceedings were closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman of the meeting. The Convict Muller. Yesterday again Fratz Muller, now under sentence of death in the prison of Newgate, was visited by the Rev. Mr Walbaum,rninister of the German Chapel in St. James's, who remained with him some time. He also attended the morning and evening services in the gaol chapel. Up to last evening he had not shown the slightest inclination to confess the crime of which he has been convicted. On Saturday morning Mr Sheriff Dakin paid him a visit in his cell, and found him reading the Bible. After saying he was glad to see him so suitably engaged, Mr Dakin so lemnly entreated the convict not to indulge the slightest hope that the capital sentence would not be carried into exe cution, and exhorted him to make the best use of the short time that remained to him in preparing to die. ' It is said that a memorial from the German Legal Pro tection Society, embodying an appeal to the clemency of the Crown for a commutation of the sentence, will be fJrwarded to the Home Secretary to-day (Monday) or to-morrow. There has been some difference of opinion, it is understood, among themselves as to the grounds on which the appeal should be made to rest, and that accounts for the delay in presenting the memorial. Originally Mr Beard, with the advice and c.ssistance of the counsel who defended the pri ' senor on his trial, prepared a memorial praying for mercy on the ground, in effect, if not in terms, that the crime of which he had been convicted might be fairly presumed to have been unpremeditated, and the unforeseen result of a struggle; but the German Society, at a meeting they held in Finsbury one evening last week, declined to adopt it in that shape, and at the suggestion of their solicitor they agreed to prepare one embodying their own views. In the meantime most scrupulous c kre has been taken by the Governor of Newgate, and by the officers under him, to conceal from the doomed man the e fforts that aro being made in that quarter to save hies life, lon the knowleege of them might divert his mind from the preparation for death. Mr Beard, the solicitor for the de fence, also declares that, in the interviews he has had with him since his conviction, he has carefully avoided for the same reason making any reference to such overtures. Still, there is reason for believing that the convict is not altoge ther ignorant of such overtures, and the Governor and the Chaplain are understood to regret the circumstance very ranch for his own sake. " It is understood (according to the Observer of yester day), that a communication has been made by the Secretary of State to the judges who presided at the trial, with refe rence to the case, as to their opinion of the verdict. It is customary in all cases of capital conviction ,for such an ap plication to be made, and it is said that both the Lord Chief Baron and Mr Baron Martin, in reply, stated that they considered the evidence entirely conclusive, and that they saw no reason to doubt the propriety of the verdict. The prisoner, since his conviction, has been _repeatedly invited to give some reasonable explanation how he became pos sessed of the property that was stolen from Mr Briggs on the night of the murder, and the possession of which formed such cogent evidence in support of the charge against him ; but he has evaded doing so, and expresses himself unable to say more than that he bought it. He has, how ever, made a very important admission in reference to the evidence•given by Matthews, the cabman, as to his having purchased a hat for him at Mr Walker's, which is that Matthews really did purchase a hat for him, but he ap pears utterly unable to give any account of what has become of that hat, and the only inference that can be drawn is that the hat so purchased was the ono found in the railway carriage." Meantime the prisoner continues cool and collected, and to eat and sleep well. He is even ranch improved in ap pearance since his conviction. His countenance, which at times during the trial was pale and careworn, is said to have assumed its wonted hue and expression, and altogether he is described as being in high health. His father and mother and a sister, it is said, reside in Saxe Weimar. He wrote a letter to them a few days ago, It was in German, and in it he only slightly alluded to the crime of which he had been convicted, without saying either that he was innocent or guilty. A young and fascinating artiste, who is about to appear at one of the west-end theatres, is of French origin, and born in the island of Guadaloupe. She has studied in Franco and Italy, and has also been a favourite pupil of Mrs Stirling (who has great faith in her genius and talent) for more than six months. She also commands the esteem of a largo cirole of the beau monde, who take the greatest interest in her success hi the dramatic world. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) ROBBERY BY A BARMAN. Francis Hatswell, barman, was charged with stealirg certain silver money, the property of his employer, Mr. hompson, a licensed victualler, and Andrew Hart was charged with receiving the said money, knowing it to have been stolen. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner Hatswell was in the habit of serving Hart with various refresh ments at the bar of his master's house. The day's taking" at the till under the chargelof Hatswell, a watch was kept and other means taken to ascertain whether he was dishonest. He was in the habit of hire ing carriages on Sundays and, in company with others driving into the country. His employer, feeling positive that such recreation could not not be consistent with the honest means of the prisoner, determined upon discovering the manner in which the luxuries were procured, and in a short time the prisoner was detected in giving money out of the till to Hart. The Jury found both prisoners guilty. The Assistant-Judge said it was a most lamentable thing that servants with good wages and board and lodging could not refrain from plundering their employers. Ile should like to know tho amount the prisoner had taken from his master. Mr Thompson said since the prisoner had been in custody the " takings" had increased from Ss. to 10s. a day. The Assistant Judge sentenced Hatswell to nine, and Hart to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. James Allen was found guilty of stealing a quantity of silver-plate and other property, valued at £7. Sentence deferred. Charles Ricketts pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with stealing two iron slabs. As there was s former conviction proved against him, sentence was also deferred in his case. Important Lifeboat Services. BLAKENEY, NORFOLK ) Nov. 5, I have the pleasure (writes the Rev. R. H. Tillard) to report that the Lifeboat of the National Institution hero has been instrumental in saving six li es this morning. A French Chasse Mare-, the Eleanor, of Nantes, came on shore last night about half•past nine o'clock, the wind blowing hard from N.N.W., and the night hazy. At day light she was seen from Blakeney, and the weather being bad and the 133 a very heavy, it was determined to send the lifeboat out to her. The vessel was on the West Sand, about an hour's pull from the boat house. When the lifeboat got alongside, it was found that the vessel was aground, waterlogged, and rolling very heavily, the sea breaking over her. All hands on her were within a very litt'e of being washed overb3ard in sight of the lifeboat's crew ; they were prevented only by an oar lashed across the rig ging. The poor fellows were overjoyed at the sight of the lifeboat, and only too glad to leave their vessel and got on board the boat. They were landed at Blakeney Quay about ten o'clock. The lifeboat crew speak in the highest pos sible terms of the boat, and especially of her sailing before the wind, with a heavy sea following. They also say that she behaved beautifully in returning under canvass and in pulling out against wind and tide, with a very heavy beam sea. The cost of this valuable lifeboat was presented to the National Institution by Miss Brightwell, of Norwich. MILTON'S HOUSE IN BARBICAN.—The house in Barbican, No. 17, in which Milton lived, being quired for railway purposes, a dispute arose as to its value in a material sense. A lease of the premises was granted in 1860, for 21 years, at £33 a year;.the present value of the land was £206 a year, The amount payable under the lease was asserted to be much below to value of the property. The principal question presented to the jury was the value of the reversion. In addressing the jury, the commissioner said that the house was a very old one, in which Milton had lived, The jury assessed the compere sation at £3,250, or considerably more than twice as much as the Metropolitan Railway Company offered, DEMOLITION BY GVNFOWDER CF A PORTION OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION BUILDING.—The remain in; portions of the Exhibition Building, c,nsisting of the towers in the Albert-road,were on Saturday operated on by the Sappers and Miners, with the object of throwing them to the ground, by gunpowder. The gunpowder was ar ranged to be exploded by electricity, and after some little delay the back portion or half of the first Albert tower, as though smitten by an invisible influence from within, fell down upon its basement, amid the applause of many spec tators. The entire apace surrounding it Tr.. ,-.;nve . topect In clouds or dust, caused by the demolition and darts. Some further attempts were made to dislodge the remaining half of the tower, but as it was getting dusk, and as further operations were deemed dangerous, the Sappers and Miners were called off the grounds. THE NEGRO TROOPS.—The coloured troops were conspicuous in the fight of yesterday, They fought hard and lost severely. They moved on determinedly, seeming to enter heartily into the spirit of tho endeavour to force the rebels into their last ditch, and the nearer they came to Richmond the more enthusiasm they displayed. After carry. ing the first line of works beyond Deep Bottom, and obtain ing possession of the fort at Spring Hill, the 10th corps came out on to the Newmarket-road , and halted briefly, J us t then there came up from a house near by a family of whites to seek General Tsrry's protection, and they were followed by a half- dcz tn blacks. When the coloured troops saw the freed slaves their excitement knew no bounds. Tbey raised their' voices in a hearty an d continued cheer, which was tihalleonatt' until its volume was s. Most of the blacks swelledtaken u pbyby many regiment thousands after of were women, several were quite old ; there was one stout man. The young women bowed and curtseyed and showed responde veaved t a a n the old u pna unexpected p their white teeth; the older ones mumbled their t oo thl ess jawsman ran with forwardemotion ;toon leafectfan ; the arms rms gr b e y et t in h g e which met him, and was re c e i ve d with open sable soldiers. They cheered yet more lustily ; they threw their caps into the air; they gathered about the freedman, and, grasping his hand, a score of them at a time, fairly danced for joy, or c.ied with delight. The scene was ine describable. Men may have their peculiar views about the emancipation proclamation and the policy of arming blacks, but he who could stand by and eee those soldiers—them selves but lately slaves—welcoming under the protection of the triumphant stars and stripes their liberated brethren, and yet could not share in their joy, and thank God with them that other chains were broken, would have been lees than human.— Corrospwident of the iSprinyjield Republican. ST JAMES'S HALL.--0a Saturday afternoon the Wizard of the North gave his ninth matinee to a crowded audience. In addition to the ueuel programme the Professor introduced two or three experiments illustrative of the rope-tying trick. The schools invited numbered over 750, the whole of which departed from the hall highly de lighted with the trept accorded them. Mies Anderson gave the girls belonging to the Foundling Hospital each a pre sent as they left the ball.
